[0050] Example 1

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a pedal-operated folding scooter includes a vertical handlebar 1 and a horizontal frame 2. The handlebar 1 and the frame 2 are directly connected by a diagonal bar 3. A folding mechanism is provided between the diagonal bar 3 and the frame 2. The folding mechanism includes a folding pivot 4, a handle pivot 5, and a folding handle 6.

[0052] The diagonal brace 3 has a pivot hole at its end, and the frame 2 also has a pivot hole at its front end; the frame 2 has a fan-shaped support at its front end.

[0053] The end of the diagonal bar 3 is inserted into the support seat of the frame 2, and is connected to the pivot hole of both by the folding pivot 4, so that the diagonal bar 3 and the frame 2 can be rotated and folded.

[0054] The end of the diagonal bar 3 is provided with a handle shaft 5, and a folding handle 6 is rotatably connected to the handle shaft 5. The folding handle 6 includes an operating end 61 and a locking end 62.

[0055] The support base has a front locking groove 7 and a rear locking groove 8 on its edge. Before the diagonal rod 3 is rotated and folded, the locking end 62 of the folding handle 6 is locked into the front locking groove 7. After the diagonal rod 3 is rotated and folded, the locking end 62 of the folding handle 6 is locked into the rear locking groove 8.

[0056] A torsion spring 9 is fitted on the handle shaft 5. One end of the torsion spring 9 abuts against the inner surface of the inclined rod 3, and the other end abuts against the locking end 62 of the folding handle 6.

[0057] The snap-fit ​​end 62 is an elastic support post, and both ends of the elastic support post are respectively snapped into the snap-fit ​​front groove 7. The elastic support post is a tendon rod or a rubber rod.

[0058] The above-mentioned use of the pedal-assisted folding scooter:

[0059] To fold the scooter, simply place your foot on the operating end of the folding handle and press down to disengage the handle's locking end from the front locking slot of the support base. Simultaneously, use the torsion spring to rotate the handle clockwise into the rear locking slot, completing the folding operation. Conversely, to unfold the scooter, pull the handle out of the rear locking slot and lift it upwards, aligning its locking end with the front locking slot of the support base, completing the unfolding operation.

[0060] This pedal-operated folding scooter features a coordinated design of folding hinges, handle hinges, and a folding handle, making folding easier and eliminating the need for manual operation of switches or hinges, greatly simplifying the process. Simultaneously, the inclusion of torsion springs enhances the connection between the scooter's handlebars and frame, improving the stability of the folding structure, effectively preventing loosening or damage, and extending the product's lifespan.

[0061] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
